There was a freshman Democrat who came to Congress 50 years ago. He turned to a senior Democrat and said, "Where are the Republicans? I want to meet the enemy." The senior Democrat said, "The Republicans aren't the enemy. They're the opposition. The Senate is the enemy." Those days are over.

He's a Democrat from Idaho. They use Democrats for target practice up there. Sometimes he's got to lean to the right.

LEO McGARRY, The West Wing, "Constituency of One" (2003)

When voters want a national Daddy, someone to be tough and strong and defend the country, they vote Republican. When they want a Mommy to give them jobs, healthcare...they vote Democrat.

JOSH LYMAN, The West Wing, "The Mommy Problem" (2005)

If only men voted, Democrats would never win an election.

AMY GARDNER, The West Wing, "Requiem" (2006)

Everyone's a Democrat until they get a little money, then they come to their senses.

HAROLD WEIR, Freaks and Geeks (1999)

It's a good feeling, you know, to shoot a bad guy. Something you Democrats would never understand. Americans... we're homesteaders, we want a safe home, keep the money we make, and shoot bad guys.

DENNY CRANE, Boston Legal, "Hired Guns" (2004)

You Democrat! Protesting war and banning guns. If you Nancys had your way, nobody would ever shoot anybody! And then where would we be?

DENNY CRANE, Boston Legal, "Smile" (2006)

Women! They let 'em vote, smoke and drive...even put 'em in pants! And what happens? A Democrat for president!

THE OLD MAN, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)

All liberals are not kooks, any more than all conservatives are fascists! And the last time I checked, God was neither a Democrat nor a Republican! And just for your information, yes, I am a liberal. But I am also a Christian. And I get down on my knees and pray everyday, on my own turf, on my own time. One of the things that I pray for...is that people with power will get good sense, and that people with good sense will get power... and that the rest of us will be blessed with the patience and the strength to survive the people like you in the meantime!
